Milwaukee Employers: Please Support Professionals with Disabilities, Attend Thursday Event

Of all the local groups I have been involved with AbilITy Connection has been the most rewarding. The group is sponsored by Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and has been a source of employment opportunities for professionals with disabilities for many, many years.

The AbilITy Connection Business Advisory Council consists of professionals from throughout the region. A couple of times a year, we make a drive to raise awareness and find new participants for the council. This Thursday is one of those events. We'll be holding a panel discussion of opportunites in Information Technology, looking at the current market and what we may have to look forward to over the next year.

AbilITy Connection fills your diversity hiring needs
Simply put, if you are an employer and hire IT professionals, you should be here. No excuses. Many organizations have diversity hiring initiatives, but disabled professionals are a chronically underemployed and underrepresented group. You can sign up for the program here. It's free and no pressure. Come and see what we're about.
